Using the MULTI-ZONE feature
MULTI-ZONE listening
This receiver can power up to two independent systems in
separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-ZONE
connections.
Different sources can be playing in two zones at the same
time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also
be used. The main and sub zones have independent power
(the main zone power can be off while the sub zone is on) and
the sub zone can be controlled by the remote or front panel
controls.
Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if you have a separate
speakers for your sub zone. You will also need a separate
amplifier for your sub zone.
Note
•
You can listen to the built-in tuner and other analog audio
sources in the sub zone.
•
You can't use sound controls (such as the bass/treble
controls or Midnight listening) or any surround modes with
a separate amplifier in the sub zone. You can, however, use
the features available with your sub zone amplifier.
